That is true, Peter—it’s basically what I said in the post but you raise a good point about video games and music. I think it’s been going on since 1990!

It won’t kick off a revival because the 80s revival has been going for a decade already. Look at video games and listen to music. Just like during the 90s, the 70s were so cool.

Fair enough, Poetryman69. What was funny was that 10 years ago we thought the ’70s were ghastly. Now that dislike has shifted to the ’80s. It is probably a human thing to dislike fashions of 20 years ago.

Only a few more minutes to go. I’ve been pretty psyched up about it, too. I’ve had a few concerns about the era and whether it would be so self-aware that it winds up being a parody of Life on Mars but the reports from those who are in it say that it has a distinct, unique direction. I look forward to it and: never argue with the Gene Genie!

I’ve been waiting for this ever since it was announced. I can’t wait to see how Gene is without Sam Tyler’s influence
